dragontemptress:

And so this is what the old Arcadios looked like, or at least that is what Presa believed. She had never seen the old Arcadios and she wasn’t around during that time, instead she would have been home living her life in the most comfortable way she could get it which was’t very comfortable.

It was interesting being here. A lot different to the Arcadios she knew in more ways than one. Placing a hand on her hip, the catlike woman looked around in search for an interesting place to explore. She wasn’t quite sure how long this place would be here for so trying to explore every place would be an impossible job to do alone.

Turning around, a voice had caught the young woman’s attention. Dropping her hand down to her side, Presa walked towards the unknown girl who had a rather interesting appearance and she wasn’t talking about her clothes but rather her ears and other features she carried.

“If this isn’t the old Arcadios…” She paused and stood next to the blue-haired woman then glanced over to her. “Care to explain what the real one looks like?”

There was much bitterness in her heart. Another war fought, another moment where she felt helpless. In the past, she found herself lost in the memories of hearing that her friends had been chosen to defend a goddess in a war. Hmph, why did the boys get to have all of the fun?

Judith didn’t dwell on the past. Infact, she was more or so ready to leave through that mystical door and return to the Arcadios that was full of life. Not painful memories and ghosts she wanted to forget.

In truth, she could have lost that idiot Yuri…

She was turning, her body shifting to head the direction from which she came — but, instead, she stopped to find the cat-like woman who eased upon her. It was odd, really. Judith was usually the one who could slink away or approach with little noise.

Briefly, she recalled seeing the woman around the new land, but never once in this barren dry desert.

“It’s as you see now. But, just because something looks like something, doesn’t necessarily mean it is what it appears to be.”

Judith’s deep magenta eyes focused at the stores lining the shops and the overlooking hill in the distance. “Nothing ever good came from trailing back into the past.” She left it at that, the coldness in her voice obvious, but not directed towards the woman.

“I don’t believe uncovering the history of this place is a hobby of yours, or is it?”

the-heropon:

“Riki recognise this place! This Arcadios! Me smart; Riki remember!”

[Though he had only been here a few hours, he still managed to stumble upon that door that everybody was fretting about. He wasn’t here to feel the earthquakes but he still made his way to the “Old” Arcadios.

The memories of his time in Arcadios before he returned to his world came flooding back immediately, all the people he met, all the things that happened; it all combined into one big smile on the Nopon’s face.

Skipping off happily, he decided to go and see if anything had changed, but something piqued his curiosity, causing him to cease his playful prancing]

“Wait… if me go through door to get to Arcadios… where was place Riki came from?”

[He thought about it for a moment, but the question was quickly forgotten when he spotted one of his previous “friends” in the distance, one of the people he met when he first came to Arcadios. Walking up to behind her, he jumped and held onto Judith’s shoulders with his long ears]

“Judith! It nice see you again!”

It had been truly some time since she last took a breath of the dry air. This place felt different and she just couldn’t accept that this was the place where Flynn Scifo had almost lost his life.

In her own little thought process, she suddenly would be caught off guard by a familiar face. One, she sadly, did not have the pleasure of knowing fully. But! That could change, couldn’t it?

She turned a bit, letting a small smirk overwhelmed her stiffened lips. “Oh, well hello there! It’s been some time, hasn’t it?” The woman admitted with a nod.

“It’s nice to see you too. How have you been?”

It seemed as if there was a morbid feeling in the air. A sense of… isolation. While the glaring sun and the dry wind from the east was a familiar feeling, this wasn’t the Arcadios she had been in previously, was it?

Judith had felt a sadness in the air, something equivalent to what she felt on Mt. Temza. As if there wasn’t a soul remaining here sans the explorers of new Arcadios.

Everything had remained intact. The stores still showing signs of that war near the end of Arcadios’ final days…

Judith had stopped in front of the broken statue, one of the only things that she recalled the group didn’t fix. The crumbled statue of Sophia lied in a wet puddle even to this day. She didn’t feel sadness. She didn’t feel as if she owed this land anything, as selfish as that was.

“This can’t be old Arcadios.” Judith said with a blunt statement, sighing heavily to herself. “People are so damn ignorant to assume it is.”

{ Besides knowing Yuri by the name Senpai, Len honestly didn’t know anything about the violet haired male! He wished he had known that his birthday was sooner or else he would have done something more than help with the decorations and music arrangement. He also did his best to set up some fun games, but Len was anything but fun. If only his twin sister was around.

Besides, Judith was nice enough even if the male android didn’t know her personality. It wasn’t like him to turn a woman down anyway, being the slight player he was. He was admiring his work when the woman approached him. }

“So, have you taken care of your part?”

“Music’s been taken care of, this place looks good with the decorations and we have most of the games set up and ready. I believe all we have left is getting senpai himself.” { He tapped his chin thoughtfully. People were helping with the food, the jousting and such were set up as well.. Yeah, other than a few trivial things everything was good. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to ask… }

“I feel bad for coming in to help on a short notice though. Is there anything else that I can help with…?”

The tall woman had gotten quite a lot of help. More then she expected. Then again, turning on the charm and feminine wiles was kind of her signature move to get what she wanted. A flashy smirk, a slight bit more cleavage and a giggle that could melt any male into a pile of butter.

She was just …well, too friendly!

“I think that was the last thing on my check list to have taken care of. Guess we’re lucky, hm?” The place was livening up, people beginning to migrate to where all the festivities were, even if they were spread out in various places near Polis.

“You shouldn’t feel bad. You did your part and you’ll be enjoying yourself too. That’s all I can ask of you, really.”

Looking to the blonde shotalicious singer the woman couldn’t help but give him a reassuring nod. “There’s not much to do really, just waiting for the birthday boy to show up and make a scene. That’s just a matter of time, though.”

A thumbs up from the boy as he finished setting things up. “Alright! As long as you’re sure.” Judy knew best and he had no doubts. If she said there should be enough.. That was that! A good leader would trust the word of his guild no matter how trivial the subject may be! Not saying Yuri’s shindig was trivial or anything though!

It was a special occasion!

Plus there was so much to do! Fun games to play! Part of him kind of hoped that he didn’t have to work anymore so he could go check everything out! But he wouldn’t say that out loud, of course. As excited as he was…

That would be childish! 

“Aww shucks.. It’s was nothing, really! I’m glad I could help.” Bashful Karol rubbed the back of his neck. “If there is anything you need, don’t hesitate to ask!” He was actually was quite proud of himself, especially after he had received some praise from the woman. A big grin was clear on his expression and he laughed sheepishly. 

Though after a moment he waved a finger at Judith, as if to scold her.

“Don’t work too hard, ok? Even you should be able to take a break and have some fun! Take some time to relax! Promise?”

Good leader. 

Everything was in good fun.

For Judy and the majority of the residents here — but Yuri may not have been included on the list of those who would enjoy such silliness.

“Well, without you I don’t think I’d be able to get things in order as quickly as I did. I’m impressed!” Judy had an interesting interaction with the boy, fueling his ambitions to be strong and good no matter what.

The boy had spunk, she’d give him that.

As he began to scold her about working too hard, she leaned back, almost as if she was offended. “You think I would miss out on this fun?”

But she would stiffen up and nod, letting a giggle roll off her tongue. “Promise. I follow the orders of my guild leader, after all.”

blackandwhitebastard:

Dramatic and overdone was the M.O. for ALL of Gotham’s villainous residents. Whether it be excessive clown makeup, pointless puzzles or, in Ozzy’s case, a flurry of feathers, every heist had to be done in a grandiose and above all stylish manner. Otherwise, there was no point. After all, what distinguished a villain from a SUPER villain was presentation.

Ozzy grinned wide. “I’m sure it will be. Just a question, though: why all this fuss over one guy? No offense meant.” It was true, though. Why was so much fuss being made over a single man?

“Judy… I’ll stick t’Judy. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with joining in during party time. It was either that or work.” Although technically, he was working. Getting the word out about the club and all that.

Word of mouth was a very, very effective form of advertising.

Judith didn’t do it for love or care. No no no. The girl giggled as she tucked a strand of indigo hair away from her vision. “Because he’ll be very grumpy over this. And it’s fun to ruffle feathers sometimes.” Literally? No, but you get the point.

“I figure everyone would enjoy it but planning this alone would be suicide. Might as well get people involved so they want to participate more, hm?”

The scantily clad woman lifted a gloved digit to her chin, tapping it idly. “Plus, it’s free drinks and good company. Who could turn that down?”

mushigirai:

Of course Karol was willing to lend a hand! Though he still wasn’t too used to the idea of Arcadios.. That didn’t mean he’d give up a chance to take part in an event like this! Though his thoughts on it were more innocent. He wasn’t aiming to poke fun at Yuri! No, no.. His mindset was that they were throwing a party for Yuri and that was a nice thing, wasn’t it? Yes. Yes it was.

But if Yuri happened to get cranky about it would only be a bonus because even Karol wouldn’t mind poking a little fun at him.

“Yupp!” Karol’s response to Judith’s bluntness was quite cheery. Now what was his job? Booze. Snacks! He’d managed to find a couple gels, mostly for himself, along with a few little cakes and other treats that had caught his eye in Polis. It was lucky his arms were full or he may have actually eaten a bunch of these treats… They all just looked and smelled so delicious!

“I really hope this is enough…”

He made a little station for the treats, setting them up on trays and perhaps popping one or two cookies in his mouth as he did so. And then with a mouthful of sweets he turned back to face the krityan. 

“Do ya need me ta do anyfin’ else, Judiff?”

And it was her luck that the leader of Brave Vesperia just so happened to be in Arcadios! Whatever would she do without him?

“Good good! That’s great, Karol.” Judith hummed, giving an appreciative smile and wink to the boy’s way. The snacks? Oh they were only some of Yuri’s favorites. Including some delicious gels they were able to create at the bakery for Judith and the special occasion.

“If not, they have plenty of other food made.” Taking a whiff of the air, she could smell the meat cooking off in the distance. “So this should be fine. Thank you.”

As the boy took a few treats for himself, she looked over to the preperations. “Not particularly. You and everyone have been working so hard.” As was Judith. With her lack of sleep, it was almost working double the effort. Oh well.

“You should be proud.”

thesixthcourier:

[Six nodded at the krityan woman, a smile on his face. He’d just unpacked the last crate of booze… but was still remarkably tight-lipped as to how he’d got hold of all that alcohol.]

[He too had been quite eager to do something fun for a change—making music and drinking instead of running around like Arcadios’ errand boy/exterminator/’problem solver’. To be fair, though, he did make a lot of music and drink himself half to death on a daily basis, but as he would say, it’s more fun when you do it with other people.]

“Yep! Booze and tunes are set, Miss Judith!”

[The Courier was rather enthusiastic when it came to parties, despite the fact he didn’t know the current celebrant at all. Hell, all he needed was a reason to party!]

“The band’ll be here on time, and I’m sure that they’ll love ‘em!”

[Six neglected to mention that he was going to join them. In the singing, of course, but hey, a surprise was a surprise and he was sure he could amuse quite a few people!] 

It was most certainly going according to plan. That was a relief considering there usually had to be some string of bad luck that followed Brave Vesperia around. Yet, this was all Judy’s planning, not the guild.

“That’s what I like to hear.” The woman lifted her lips upwards with a casual smirk. The best part was taken care of, it seems. The addition of music was just good too, but booze were fun.

Those who could drink would know that first hand.

“I’m sure they’ll get a standing ovation.” Or a punch to the face from a grumpy Yuri. Either or! The exotic lancer couldn’t help but look over the scribbled list of things to do before Yuri returned. Everything seemed taken care of.

“I don’t know how you scrounged everything up so quickly… ” Especially in such quantity. “Secret brewery? You may have to let me in on the secret.” She played coy, looking over the work that was being done around town. “But, it’ll do quite nicely. Thank you.”

blackandwhitebastard:

Ozzy didn’t know anyone called Yuri. Granted, Ozzy wasn’t the social type. But when a stern elven lady with an agenda approaches you to help assist with things, it’s very difficult to say no.

Especially when she’s attractive.

It was a good thing, then, that Ozzy had some sorta contacts over here. Particularly with the Black Inches. He’d apologize to Snowman later, but for now he required the talents of their usual jazz band and most of the booze the bar stocked. It was good for publicity, after all. You give people a taste of what’s to come, and they come towards you! Good planning? … Maybe not. But he’d see.

Plus, if things went according to plan, the opening ceremony was going to be fairly interesting. Dozens of birds, seemingly flying up from the middle of nowhere. It would be a spectacle to behold. Plus, if there were any valuables from the taking, they would probably be taken. Good.

“Everythin’ seems set… what’s your name again?” Because he hadn’t even bothered to ask. He’d just been staring and nodding, occasionally mumbling yes or no when she’d first asked for assistance.

The tall woman looked to the accomplice that she had acquired during her planning. She didn’t care who helped, as long as something was done. Dramatic and overdone for no real reason.

“That’s good. I’m trying to touch base with others and they seem to be having no problem. This will be one hell of a party and it’ll be quite the memory as well.”

“Judith. Judy, if you’d prefer.” The woman said with a soft smirk. The woman was not one to shy away from someone who carried themselves in a way that Ozzy did.

His presence spoke for itself.

“I’m a bit shocked you seemed so willing, but I don’t suppose anyone would turn down a good time,”

It had been quite sometime since Judith had the chance to do anything other then work.

Work.

Work.

Work!

That had been all she was able to do in the long hours that filled the day. There was an abundance of new residents who needed the basics: something to protect themselves. A dagger, sword — whatever. There wasn’t simply free meat to go around. It was hard out there if people left past the main city and the small villages to the south!

But, her focus wasn’t on smithing for once. It was focused on talking to a few people about helping to plan a party. A festival, of sorts. The krityan had no shame asking others for help in such a task because really, what else were they doing with their time?

This at least would be fun.

Judith had tried to get a hold of a few people Yuri Lowell was familiar with because the festival would revolve around his birthday. Judith didn’t do it for any sort of fun — she did it because the look on Yuri’s pissed face would be priceless. He hated attention like that.

Either way, friend of Yuri or stranger, Judith had a list of things that she had taken care of over the past week.

- Food

- Entertainment

- Decorations

- Booze

So, here she was. The time was moving closer to sunset as the sun began to set. She had sent Yuri on a task to retrieve some superb meat from a herd of monsters deep in the woods. He’d be gone for most of the day.

With the time to herself, she and others had begun decorating. But now, she was checking in with anyone who was willing to help.

“So, have you taken care of your part?” The woman spoke bluntly as she placed a gloved hand on her hip. Each person could help in their own way, anything that was needed to make some party festival fun. She didn’t quite care what.

[Okay, uhm this is a set up for the Meme Monday theme with Yuri Lowell’s birthday in a few hours. You don’t have to know Yuri to reply!! This is just setting up a party and Judith asked complete strangers for help, so. And it obviously doesn’t have to be long. The shorter and quicker, the better!! Hope that’s okay. :3]
